I have over 12 years of experience working in various sectors relevant to civil litigation (primarily Defendant, but also Claimant and Insurer). I was most recently a Solicitor in the Ministry of Justice Group at the Government Legal Department. I managed various civil claims including personal injury, human rights, discrimination, data protection and a variety of other claims both before and after the commencement of proceedings. I also prepared for and attended inquests on behalf of prison and probation clients throughout England and Wales.I am a qualified Solicitor in Australia and a Solicitor on the roll in England and Wales.I recently relocated from the United Kingdom back to Australia.
